We have people who are either for or against gun control.

I personally find myself to be "traditionally" pro Second Amendment. What I mean by that is that where I stand on Second Amendment and gun control to be more in line in with what the Founding Fathers believed.

Again, that's my own personal opinion and if you can respect my opinion on...

name a band and what you believe to be their best album or song.

you could also mention a guitarist for example and what you believe his/her best solo, riff, etc.

heck, you can even name an instrument you like.

A huge shame, but not surprising. He's in his early 70s and definitely deserves the retirement. He and KK helped shape metal guitar in the 70s so he deserves a good rest. That also probably explains why they put such a big focus on Richie. Pass...

I kinda like the tightness of DD, but I just think it lacks a bit of clarity - it's too hot.

I've got an ENGL E670 6L6 special edition with a defect.
As I was playing the Volume suddenly started to fade out until it was completely silent. So now there's no sound at all coming from it.
The LEDs and the Switches all still work, it's just that there's no more sound coming from the amp.

I have let my tech change the tubes but that didn't solve the issue. My local tech couldn't solve the issue nor find out exactly what the problem is, but he was able to pinpoint the...
